Badger Hopkins's Story...

Badger Hopkins's Story...

Badger Hopkins ~ 6 yrs ~ 25 lbs ~ NEEDS A FOSTER HOME~

Badger escaped the overcrowded shelter by the skin of his teeth. He has no known past history as he was picked up as a stray. Fortunately for Badger, he was fostered in someone's home until the scheduled transport to BRSM so we do know a few things about him. We suspect that he is a lost or dumped hunter as he tracks while on walks - tail flagging, nose to the ground and pulling excitedly. He doesn't bark much, but will loudly announce the arrival of any wildlife in your yard. He is friendly with adults and children alike, as well as other dogs and the family cat. Because Badger has such strong hunting instincts, he will need a yard with an extremely secure fence (Ft. Knox strong!) or be leash walked exclusively. His temporary foster in Kentucky suggests leash walking in the yard until he is completely settled in and supervision thereafter. Badger has a friendly, happy personality and is a very good boy. He'd like a chance to prove it. Right now he's holed up in a crate at the vet's office awaiting some kind soul to foster or adopt him.

If you think that Badger could help brighten your days - as a foster pup or a forever addition to your family - please contact icanhelp@beaglemaryland.org!

About Our Rescue Group...

Beagle Rescue of Southern Maryland is dedicated to helping all beagles in need. Most of the dogs that come into the rescue are hunter rejects, either because they do not want to hunt, or because they are too old or simply ill. Our goal is to rehabilitate these wonderful companion dogs and place them in forever loving homes. We are a network of foster homes and rely solely on the dedication of volunteers. Our motto is: "Hug your hound, don't take him to the pound."

Come Meet Our Pets...

We do not have a centralized location, but you can visit our website to find out when and where we hold our adoption events (usually twice a month). We also take part in special fairs and events. You can come and meet with some of our dogs then.If you see a dog on our website that you are interested in, we request that you first fill out our Application and submit it electronically.

Our Adoption Process...

We require submission of an online application. If all requirements are met, we do a home visit and check the vet reference (when it applies). Please refer to our website to see the kinds of questions we ask. We ask for a tax-deductible adoption donation of $300. All dogs are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on their shots (rabies, distemper and parvo, bordetella), are heartworm negative and on heartworm preventative, micro-chipped and de-wormed.
